"Solar Observer's Handbook" by Tony Broxton is a astronomy book and space science reference focused on Deep Sky & Solar System. Best for students, researchers, and serious astronomy enthusiasts.

The object of this handbook is to provide the complete novice who is interested in solar astronomy with all the information needed to enable them to submit their observational work at a national professional standard. The book will also enable the local amateur astronomy group to create a programme of work of choice, for the enhanced enjoyment of their members. It assumes no previous knowledge. No degrees are necessary. There is no intention here to supplant the many excellent textbooks on solar astronomy or to ascend to their levels of expertise. Mathematics in this handbook is strictly avoided and never ventures beyond that in everyday school use, though some basic maths are confined to appendices for those interested. This handbook focuses mainly on explanation with pictures and diagrams. This handbook will provide a sound foundation in the subject which will then allow the novice astronomer to extend their expertise and knowledge as far as they wish.
